Dissenters grave yard Exeter Devon

This grave yard in Exeter UK is in a sorry state of repair. Dates back to 16th century I believe.

Daniel Boone emigrated from the small town of Bradninch, Devon near Exeter, England to Pennsylvania in 1713, to join William Penn's colony of dissenters.

So Who knows if history was different and he never emigrated his remains may have been one of the estimated 1300 in this small piece of land. Anyway it isn't and neither is he....!!! The mind runs riot with all the different possibilities of if's and only's....
I wonder who is in charge of this! Someone must have forgotten it is there! Your photo might change that!

It's so sad to find graveyards haven't been looked after, a nice capture and the owners or council should be ashamed.

A very poignant picture. Interesting but sad.

How interesting but sad it is in such a state of disrepair. I would think someone from a local historical society would want to restore this and put up a sign explaining the history, etc.
